Hello all,
At Wednesday’s meeting, I mentioned that my colleague Jennifer Weldon developed a search box widget for the BCcampus Open Textbook Collection (as seen on Langara’s Open Education site<https://langara.libguides.com/open-education/find-open-resources-by-subject>).
It’s essentially a short piece of code, which can embedded in LibGuides and webpages generally for ‘one stop shopping’. Jennifer is happy to share it with whomever is interested. She is planning on including the code in a Word document with instructions for embedding. If you have other suggestions for how to share this, please send them my way! In the meantime, let me know if you’d like the code and I will pass it along.
Best,
Lindsay

Good morning Librarians!
I have a "weird" request - something I am having trouble finding and I am hoping you might be able to give me a hand.
In 2008 Obama credits his presidential win to winning the Iowa Caucus. His presidential strategist was key to reminding everyone that getting to the presidency mean winning Iowa.
Can anyone find me evidence of this? Details of how they won Iowa as a result of sticking to a single goal?
Thanks
Amanda

For thousands of years the Coast Salish, Lkwungen, and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples have walked gently on the unceded territories where we now live, work, and play. We are committed to building relationships with the first peoples here, one based in honour and respect, and we thank them for their hospitality.
Hello all,
I just recently got involved with BCOEL, so I hope that's all right that I'm requesting input already!
I'm in the midst of creating an initial proposal to implement some form of OER at my institution as we currently do not use any open resources. I'm looking for some figures for the typical honorarium/stipend given to faculty who choose to adopt or adapt an open textbook to add to my report. If anyone is comfortable sharing the amount that is standard at your own institution or if you've come across good sources (preferably Canadian) that include dollar amounts that you can direct me to, I would be very grateful! We're in a very 'baby steps' stage, but I'm hoping to make a strong case to get started with open textbooks in the next term or two.
Thanks so much,
Reba Ouimet
